Is $2800 a month enough to live in LA?

fook

The rise of full time WFH workers are what is causing housing markets to go out of control. Everyone from California, Illinois, and New York (high cost of living states) are flooding into lower cost of living states (Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, and Florida) .

Those full time WFH employees are still getting the same salaries as if they were still living in a high living cost area, but how are living in a lower cost of living. So essentially their paychecks go much further and they can afford more things. The weather is also much nicer in Arizona, Nevada, Texas, and Florida than it is compared to New York and Illinois.

did you lose your house in the marshall fire?

In Denver, it all started when the legalization of mariuana. demand for housing and rentals increased. landlords started upping the rent more and more every chance they got. edged a lot of people out. i don't know what my kids will end up doing when they get older. we'll probably have to move to another State unless the market crashes at some point.

no i'd be going there as a grad student. i don't think housing is covered completely but student housing seems to be cheaper than other options

i've heard a lot of companies are getting smart about this and scaling people's pay if they choose to do this.

too many people are hoping for a market crash. therefore, it is already priced in and won't happen the way it did in 2008

shits probably not going to crash, theres a rise of investors buying up property for rental purposes, so the future will probably be perpetual renting and ever increasing house prices since there will be less and less that aren't converted into apartment buildings

yeah shits fucked. gotta love the mega corp pumping billions into buying up all the property there is

Florida is way up there. 3k rent a month is normal in my area now. Pay is not scaling with it at all.

okay so 2800 won't work then, can i start sucking dudes off to make some extra $ ?

There's a ton of states now that have legal recreational weed. You should be happy that CO weed is so much cheaper than Illinois. Illinois weed at the dispensary (even for a medical patient that doesnt really pay the weed tax) 1/8ths are $60-$65, vape pens are about $40-$60 depending on brand, size, strength. etc.

I stopped going to the dispensaries and started growing my own weed from seeds I bought from Seedsman.

Those prices are disgusting. might as well be fucking sober if thats the price for rec weed.

Yes.

Why do you think people are leaving Illinois in droves? Chicago has lost a net population for the last couple of years now.

Clever workers take cash under the table while remaining dependents of the state. That way the rich stay rich and the poor stay dependent and capitalism rules like always.

In Florida its mostly northern boomers excaping politics.

If you game the system in place properly, you can live even better. It's what mexicans do in california: hustle work for cash while remaining on the rolls for payouts.
The clever have figured out that it is far too expensive to police the central payout systems in place in california. California inadvertently created millions of dependents that totally game the system as a result.

Old people always go to Florida though. Its hot and humid and for whatever reason, old people love hot and humid weather.
